Default Looking for the right EXHAUST

Hi , I need a low sounding aftermarket exhaust. One that sounds like the stock but just a little more rumble. I have a convertible so I dont want it too loud. What's the best one for my case... Budget is around 1000. Thanks for the help.

Borla and Invida are my choice for that budget.

HKS always my #1 choice. Since you said:

One that sounds like the stock but just a little more rumble
plus your $1000 budget, i recommend something below HKS.

What about the left exhaust? haha JK

The two that I have had personal experience with and would suggest are the Nismo and the HKS....be it that your budget for an exhaust is around a 1000, the Nismo would be your best bet...the HKS one runs about 400 or so more than your budget

ok maybe not the smartest move, but I do hear the HKS is nice from many people so i trust my fellow Z enthusiasts

HKS is just amazing. I get so many compliments on looks and sound:

Check out the sound clips I made:

I recommend that you

a. Set a budget.
b. Decide what configuration you want. Single. Dual. One or two mufflers. Y-pipe?
c. Shop for catback exhaust systems which meet your budget and selection criteria.
d. Pick your favorite.
